This game really nicely fills the niche left behind by Roller Coaster Tycoons 1 and 2 in many ways, but offers enough new stuff to still be worth it when OpenRCT2 exists. I've spent no less than one third of my playtime trying to make my parks look good, for example.

My only real problem with the game is that the coaster editor feels like it's missing something. Of course, coasters are somewhat deemphasized compared to the RCT franchise (this game is PARKitect, not ROLLER COASTERitect) so I shouldn't really hold that against them... but i kinda do, you know?

Still a great game that I'd recommend, and I can't wait to play it in MP.
